The dairy industry is the cornerstone of American agriculture, making significant contributions to the economy and local food supply. The United States is one of the world's largest dairy producers, with advanced agricultural technology ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and animal welfare.
1. Cattle breeds and genetic theories
The five most common breeds of dairy cows in the United States are Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Ayrshire. Holstein cows dominate due to their high production, with an average of 22,000 pounds of milk per cow per year. Modern dairy farming in the United States relies heavily on selective breeding and genomic testing to enhance milk production, disease resistance, fertility, and feed efficiency. 
2. Nutrition and feed management
The diet of dairy cows will directly affect the production and quality of milk. What kind of feed do dairy cows eat?
Forage (corn silage, alfalfa hay) is a feed made by microbial fermentation under closed conditions. It has the characteristics of long preservation time and high nutritional value - providing fiber for rumen health.
Grains (corn, soybeans, barley, sorghum, rice bran) - provide energy and protein.
Mineral feed: mainly supplements calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorine and other A lot of vitamins) - to ensure optimal metabolic function.
3. Advanced lighting technology and ensuring the health of the herd
Most modern milking parlors use automated FDA-approved farm lighting systems to ensure farm hygiene and cow milk production efficiency. Most farms in the United States use USONIC NIGHT SIMULATOR FIXTURE :
The use of traditional Milk production boosting light increases the risk of slipping, falling and equipment accidents in the dark, greatly affecting the safety of workers. The new Red-white alternating cow light timer for milk production system provides:
✔Milking at night to maintain visibility without disturbing the cows rest.
✔Reduce eye fatigue.
✔The report from the experimental farm shows a 31% decrease in accidents.
4.Science-Backed Lighting for Happier, More Productive Cows
Cows thrive under the right lighting—just like us. Our dual-color LED system mimics the natural day-night cycle, synchronizing their circadian rhythms perfectly:
✔White Light (Day Mode): Stimulates activity and milk production, just like sunlight.
✔Red Light (Night Mode): Promotes relaxation and deep rest without disrupting sleep.
✔Studies show proper lighting can increase milk yield by up to 33%—Imagine the impact this will have on your wallet!
